Chris Sharma's routes the most repeated

Chris Sharma has been one of the great role models in climbing for almost 20 years, mainly famous for all his great first ascents. By checking the 8a data base stats, it is interesting to see that the most repeated routes between 8c+ and 9b are all his. They are all also among the highest quality rated hard core routes in the world. The total number of ascents are probably 50 % higher compared the 8a stats below. Notheworthy is also that La Dura Dura, bolted by Chris is the most repeated 9b+ with two ascents.
